Hi.
This is either a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst.
It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-free.
The nerve supplying this area goes from near the eye- so when you are going to press- the pain may be felt in the eye.
